Getting that thing cleaned out was our least favorite day!!! I hated the water pressure issues. Showering peacefully, then someone downstairs flushes the toilet and the showerhead output drops to a trickle! Arrgh! However, and THANKFULLY, the well and septic tank always functioned properly. No poop in the shower. My parents have a well and septic tank. Getting that thing cleaned out was our least favorite day!!! I hated the water pressure issues.

I'm assuming they had a septic tank, too?

I'm in awe. She said that ALL the time when I was a kid. Dude you just took me back like 25 years and I'm not that old! I thought she was the only one with that rule, heck I thought she made up that rule! And now that I think about it - they had a septic tank too. And to answer your question, I've never thought about where my 'stuff' goes when I'm done with it. Kind of grosses me out....

After 17 yrs here I am used to it. Well except for one thing. When company comes over I am always the one who has to tell people that when they use the toilet no matter if it's #1 or # 2, they may not flush toilet paper. If they do we will know as the toilet will overflow on the next person to use it. There are bags kept by the pot for your buttwipe. At one time we were a family of 10 with just this 1 lousy potty. Ahh, those were the days. Sounds alot like home to me. After 17 yrs here I am used to it. Well except for one thing.
